EasyEngine v4 Beta-4 Release

The missing features that are necessary for an MVP are postfix, to have basic mail functionality, and a migration script to migrate from EasyEngine v3 to v4. Other than that, we need to tweak the configuration, of Nginx, PHP and MySQL and the other tools in the stack to work harmoniously with a containerized environment.

This beta release fixes issues found in beta-1,beta-2 and beta-3 releases and also introduces a few features. Please leave us helpful comment or report issues on our GitHub repo.

You can get started on our currently supported OSs (Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04 and Debian 8) using –

wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee4beta && sudo bash ee

We repeat, v4 is not ready for production. For instruction on how to install on currently unsupported distributions, please see installation instructions.

New Additions

Cron command – We’re using Ofelia, a job scheduler for our cron requirements in a Docker-based container environment. We introduced a new command ee cron to interact with Ofelia where you can add, delete and update a cron job and also list all jobs.

Excellent. Will have a play. I currently use EE multisite, works very nicely, for multiple low traffic sites with little resource usage. Could even handle a few larger ones I am sure.

Multisite installs are not compatible with everything though. A little fiddly in ways. So the having proper WP installs in containers, but sharing a DB, will achieve the same economical effect, minus much of the downside.

Very keen to see the final product. What’s your rough guesstimate on timings for that?
